Saved by the Assassin?

Scioto walks along the path to the village, a short walk as he does sometimes to think.

Shaz is along the path, not doing much just sitting and watching beasts as they come and go, he notices Scioto but doesn’t seem to care if he is there or not.

Another sees the Chieftain as well and purposely waits till he is past them before coming out of hiding and drawing a long sword quietly and with skill, he gets behind the feline and is ready to strike.

Shaz watches the sneaky beast behind the cat, he has yet to meet the chieftain but still, he notches an arrow to his bow and takes aim, with skill of his own and deadly aim, he releases the arrow straight and true towards beast behind the cat.

Scioto hears the sword and it would have ended up being the last thing he heard but a gasp is what follows, he spins around in time to see his would be killer fall face first into the snow, an arrow in the back of his throat, he arches an eyebrow and looks around.

The beast is dead, arrow getting him instantly almost, looks to be a martin or stoat, either well its dead now as Shaz steps out of hiding, "You almost were face down in the snow instead of him yes?"

Scioto watches Shaz, "Who are you?"

Shaz rolls his eyes "De beast that just saved your life....I am Shaz is nice to be meeting you"

Scioto looks at the beast on the path and back to Shaz, "Well then, Shaz..I thank you for...saving me"

Shaz nods "You are most welcome, you seem important beast here"

Scioto says, "I am the chieftain here, my name is Scioto"

Oakenpaw Walks along with his staff Matilda.

Shaz nods, "That would explain, seems some dislike you" He looks at the lifeless martin on the ground “Is good thing I was nearby"

Scioto shakes his head, he then nods "Yes, you have good skills with that longbow"

Oakenpaw looks over, "Who left the dead Martin onna road Chief Chap....won't make the camp look Tidy, no sir."

Shaz looks to Oakenpaw, "It would be me, seems de martin wanted to slay the chieftain, so I slayed the martin...with my longbow from 200 yards away."

Oakenpaw exclaims, "Quite a shot Wot" He holds up a finger "But you clean up yer mess!'", He chuckles "Your Shaz rat right?"

Scioto nods "Greetings Oakenpaw, how does the day find you?"

Shaz grins "Of course, I do not leave messes"

Oakenpaw says, "Well it finds me well so long as YOUR ok Chief chap"

Scioto says, "Well I am ok now, I was not injured, just..almost"

Oakenpaw asks, "we’ll have you rewarded the rat?"
